[Solved] Comparing dates in ClientTemplate

[Travis]

How do I compare dates in a bound column's ClientTemplate?

I tried the following, but neither seem to work:

.ClientTemplate("<# if (RequestedDueDate>Date()){#> yes <#}#>")
.ClientTemplate("<# if (RequestedDueDate>'" + DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString() + "'){#> yes <#}#>")

My only workaround was to pass the RequestedDueDate to a javascript function which then compared the dates.

You should change your Model instead.

I presume "Date()" is a server function with return a date right?

public class MyModel
{
public DateTime RequestedDueDate {get; set;}

public bool IsValidDate
{
get
{
return RequestedDueDate>Date();
}
}
// or directly the string but it's not the best way

public string DateState
{
get
{
return RequestedDueDate>Date() ? "yes" : "no";
}
} 


}

why would returning the string as in your last example not be the best way?
